Today's CAS challenge is to use scallops which I used as a bg for my flowering vine - our back fence is covered with clematis vine and by May it will be a profusion of pink blossoms, which is what inspired my card today. I stitched double rows of scallops using MFT's Jumbo Scallops Die-namic for a bg panel and then used their Fancy Flourish to make the greenery. The leaves are snipped from die-cuts using Cheery Lynn Designs Fanciful Flourish die.
I had free time this morning as it's a holiday here today and tomorrow after a busy and wonderful Easter day yesterday and just took my time arranging the flowers, tendrils, and leaves on the vine.
This is also for the technique challenge, to adhere die-cuts for the faux dry embossed look.

I just adore clematis vines! They have such beauty and your card is a reflection of your backyard. How precious~ I love all those little pearls for centers. When we lived in Southern California, we had Jasmine vines (little white flowers) growing on our back wall, and they smelled amazing! Memories.....

beautiful card.
when I lived in NJ I had a vine in my yard and I loved how it looked in bloom. Mine was pink with the white vein, maybe a Nelly Moser, maybe something else. I had planted a couple but the striped one was the one that really took off.
Reading your post and viewing your card reminds me of those gorgeous flowers.
